Having scored the opening goal of the game against Sydney FC in the 23rd minute, Brisbane Roar striker Besart Berisha had his afternoon ended incredibly prematurely just 17 minutes later when the Albanian international was shown a straight red card after a piece of utterly ridiculous simulation.

Alexandro Del Piero's Season has gone from bad to worse and here's the evidence!

Last week Sydney FC's Marquee player suffered the indignity of been substituted in the Sydney derby and his effort of a free-kick against the Central Coast Mariners summed up his season and his contribution to the game as a whole!

It would appear that the patience and goodwill is beginning to wear a little thin among Sydney FC fans with Alessandro Del Piero, with the Italian veteran's performances continuing to drop off as the weeks go by (rumours are also doing the rounds that he has a problem with coach Frank Farina and currently trains alone at Sydney, whether injured or not), with several commentators sussing that he just doesn't seem to care any more.

Here's Alessandro Del Piero showing off to his Sydney FC teammates by hanging from the rigging of an old galleon parked (or whatever the galleon equivalent is moored, perhaps?) in Sydney harbour and swinging his legs violently to the tune of that infernal "Harlem Shake" noise while dangling over what looks like an incredibly ornate buffet.

We had read reports a couple of days ago that Diego Costa had made contact with Atletico Madrid and wanted to return to Spain. In Australia, speaking after the game against Sydney FC, Costa has denied those reports.

It's as hard for me to tell you this as it is for you to read it, but it wouldn't be right for me to keep it from you until you're older, harder, and have a greater control over your urge to take out your anger on government buildings and public art. Alessandro Del Piero isn't entirely happy.

Liverpool and Juventus are set to send scouts to watch Melbourne Victory star Marco Rojas this weekend, according to Sky Sports. The 21-year-old forward is the Australian A-League's most exciting talent, and local reports claim Liverpool and Juventus scouts will be in attendance for Melbourne Victory's match against Sydney FC this Saturday.

This Thursday the Mariners will face the Phoenix in a catch up match at North Sydney Oval. Those soccer-mad Sydney-siders who followed the NSL in the days before Sydney FC will recall that North Sydney Oval used to be the home of what was one of the archetypal clubs of the current A-League â€“ the Northern Spirit.
